McLaren has revealed the immediate question it had over Ferrari’s eye-catching ‘Macarena’ rear wing
McLaren’s chief designer, Rob Marshall, was surprised by Ferrari’s innovative ‘Macarena’ rear wing during pre-season testing, which rotates 270 degrees to boost top speed by creating lift on straights. This unique design caught everyone’s attention in Bahrain, but Ferrari did not use it during a Grand Prix until practice at the Chinese GP. Despite concerns about the wing’s legality, FIA’s technical chief, Nikolas Tombazis, confirmed Ferrari’s clearance to run it as desired. Marshall highlighted how the complex regulations have actually allowed for more design creativity among teams, with various innovative solutions, especially with Ferrari’s rear wing and exhaust exit.
